Will I Be a Ghost

When I die what will I miss the most?
Will I have lots of fun being a ghost?
Missing the leaves as they fall from the trees.
The scent of the rose on my nose.
As smells linger on a misty breeze.
Will it be so hard for me to leave?
My time will come will I be always alone?
Maybe I will be in the street or sat at home.
Watching the shooting stars across the sky.
Will I get a better view? Will my spirit be able to fly?
Sitting on the moon watching the Earth from afar. 
Maybe just maybe will I become a star.
I hope the rain will still tickle my skin.
Will I enjoy the rays of the sun on my face.
Will I still feel a heartbeat. Or will it be an empty space.
It might be cool to walk through a wall. Without a door.
Floating along without needing a floor.
Time will be irrelevant as its a different dimension.
Oh and did I mention?
I will come and haunt all my friends.
Move and hide their stuff. 
I will guide them into a wall during blind mans bluff.
But I wont hurt you I will play.
And hopefully be your true guide day by day.
So never be afraid of me in the dark.
My bite will always be softer than my bark.
But of course I will always go wooooo
I will always look after you..

So many questions and I love the imagery in your poem especially of the rain tickling your skin... I reckon you would have a lot of fun coming back keith and i find comfort in your words. I would love to think there is something for us after we pass Keith ... but no one has proved to me there is an afterlife - I do not have a strong faith... I guess that is something I have to work on and then maybe I will know the answer.:-) hugs Jan xx
